Awesome!

Spectacular work once again! 

SUPERLATIVE!

Long live "Da Q"!

Now that is what modeling is all about!  You have most definitely taken those to a whole other level.  I'm really happy to see all of the hard work pay off for you, well done Santiago. 

Amazing! I'll send you mine! 

What a nice engine you've created Santiago!

Do you have a layout?  Would love to see some photos with scenery...

Amazing work.  I have a 9962 set on order and wish it looked like yours.   

Thank you, gentlemen!

C.Sam I have a train room, but it's rather small. I'll post a video soon.

Wonderful photos, Santiago.

Like many others, I've followed with enthusiasm your too numerous to list discrete changes you've made to achieve such extraordinary results shown in the above photos.

For those who may not be familiar with what these photos represent in terms of detail, imagination, and creativity in modeling, here's a link to what preceded these photos over the past two years--it's an extraordinary read IMHO.

Wow. Pure beauty. Well done.

Santiago,

Impressive!

Very Nice!

Came back here about 5 times now to look at these. Once again,beautiful engines! Thanks for the eye candy!

Incredible!

TRRR

Great build! Excellent shots!

If I've done this correctly, this link should be to Santiago's very first post in his build thread from December 14, 2014.

Two plus years later we have photos of the finished product shown in this thread.

One helluva a project.

Mods!

Beautiful work!

Very nicely done. Thanks for posting the photos. They look great.

You must be feeling a well deserved great sense of accomplishment. Not to mention a slight feeling of relief that its finally done!  Well done 

Very nice. Inspires me to do something like that on one of my locomotives.

a quick test!

Thanks! That's the best compliment! 

Santiago,

Hope you have forwarded a few shots to Pat Mucci!

Simon

I sure did! 

Santiago,

Just incredible attention to detail!    Fantastic results from all your work!

Santiago, nice work. The detail makes all the difference

Thanks guys!

Thanks for sharing Santiago - your models are world class.  Posts like Santiago's, and other active modelers that frequent these pages, keep me coming back to the OGR Forum for insight into what's possible in today's O scale modelling. 

Makes me want to quit doing repairs and actually become a model railroader. 

Thank you, Ed! The OGR forum is a great place indeed, fantastic stuff here. 

Santiago,

I received my Milwaukee Road Atlas O F7's yesterday.  I posted photos of the A & B units on an F7 thread.  The rivet counters are really critical of my locos saying they are not scale accurate.  I also have Atlas O F3's on order.  Can you provide a side view of your units so I could compare the issues everyone is discussing on my F7's to see if it is also an issue on the F3's?  I know you are 2 rail and I'm 3-rail, but I don't believe there should be much difference in them.   

Thanks,

Bob

Yeah the original atlas f3 tanks are high too. I installed scale Lionel from their latest f3's. Check out my f3 build thread for details. 

Too bad Atlas couldn't get the new ones right

That video really shows what patience,time and a ton of talent can produce.  You are doing the Q proud Santiago and it truly has been a treat and a privilege to follow this build, thanks for taking us all along with you.
